Katie Holmes sported a bruised face and eye as she stepped out in NYC on Monday.

The Dawson’s Creek star, 45, stepped out make-up free with a dark bruise under her left eye, with apparent swelling on the right side of her face.

The reason for the injury is not known. DailyMail.com has contacted representatives for comment.

The star wore a blue tee and cap with damp tresses as she stepped out in the city.

The star’s daughter Suri Cruise, 18, is preparing to head off to college at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania this fall.

As her teenager embarks on her next chapter in life and living away from home for the first time in just a few months, the actress will be joining the cast of Poker Face.

The Toledo native, best known for portraying Joey Potter on Dawson’s Creek, will be among the guest cast for the murder mystery series’ second season, alongside Natasha Lyonne.

Other guest stars include Giancarlo Esposito, Gaby Hoffmann and Kumail Nanjiani. 

Previously, Poker Face welcomed actors like Chloë Sevigny and Judith Light as guest stars. 

Holmes announced her casting on Instagram on Wednesday morning. 

‘Thank you [Natasha Lyonne] for having me!’ she captioned a screenshot of a Variety article confirming the exciting news.

Additionally, she described the gig as a ‘thrill.’

Earlier this month, Holmes’ daughter, Suri – who is now using her mother’s middle name as a last name –  graduated from LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts.

Suri – who was born on April 18, 2006 in Los Angeles – is the child of divorced parents. Her father is Tom Cruise, who was married to Holmes from from 2006 to 2012.

In 2014, Holmes revealed her ‘main goal’ as a mother is ‘to just let’ Suri ‘know how much’ she loves her. 

‘Just to let her know that she is so loved. When that’s the through line, who cares that my first two pancakes are always burned?’ she told People. ‘Between tickle fights and glitter art, I try to throw in some manners along the way. I try to have good manners too, so that’s what she sees.’

The performer continued: ‘I also try to be very creative with her, because I know she’s an artist, and that speaks to the girl in me.’ 

During an August 2014 appearance on the Today show, Holmes shared: ‘The most important thing for me is letting her know how proud I am and that her accomplishments mean everything. Whatever I do is whatever. It’s really just about her and that’s what I think is most important.’ 

Despite having little, if any, relationship with her dad, Suri is, according to sources, a happy and well-adjusted teen who has loved growing up in New York City. 

Over the past few years, Holmes has focused on moviemaking and getting more stage experience.
